Ingredients

  • Halal chicken thighs - 250 grams, boneless and skinless, diced
  • Halal smoked sausage - 150 grams, sliced
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Onion - 1 medium, diced
  • Green bell pepper - 1, diced
  • Celery - 1 stalk, diced
  • Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
  • All-purpose flour - 2 tablespoons
  • Chicken broth - 500 milliliters
  • Canned diced tomatoes - 200 grams
  • Okra - 100 grams, sliced (fresh or frozen)
  • Bay leaves - 2
  • Dried thyme - 1 teaspoon
  • Cajun seasoning - 1 tablespoon
  • Salt - to taste
  • Black pepper - to taste
  • Green onions - for garnish, chopped

Steps

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced chicken thighs and sausage, cooking until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle in the flour and stir continuously for about 3 minutes, allowing it to cook and form a roux.
  4. Slowly add the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Then stir in the diced tomatoes, okra, bay leaves, thyme, and Cajun seasoning.
  5. Return the chicken and sausage to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and let it cook for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove bay leaves before serving.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
